Prerequisites⚓︎

There are no specific dependencies or prerequisites required to use the jboss-web.xml file. However, it is important to have a basic understanding of JBoss application server configuration and security concepts.

Usage⚓︎

To utilize the jboss-web.xml file in a project, it should be placed in the WEB-INF directory of the web application. The security-domain element within the jboss-web.xml file can be configured to specify the security domain for the web application.

Methods⚓︎

The jboss-web.xml file does not contain methods or functions in the traditional sense. However, it allows for the configuration of the security-domain element, which can have attributes such as flushOnSessionInvalidation. The security-domain element specifies the security domain that should be used for the web application, as shown in the following example:

<jboss-web>
    <security-domain flushOnSessionInvalidation="true">java:/jaas/app-security-domain</security-domain>
</jboss-web>

In this example, the security-domain element is configured with the flushOnSessionInvalidation attribute set to true, and the value java:/jaas/app-security-domain specifies the JNDI name of the security domain.

The jboss-web.xml file is specific to JBoss application server deployments and is used to define security settings at the web application level. It is important to understand the implications of the configurations made in this file, as it directly impacts the security of the web application within the JBoss environment.
